Goodreads asked Steve Bridger:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Steve Bridger Walk away from your computer. Go to the gym - do something physical that shakes up your mental blockage. Don't obsess with the problem - think sideways around a problem to find another way to tackle the same situation. Read something by Thomas Hardy to witness a masterclass in plotting, characterisation and descriptive genius.

Develop a mind-map of your plot outline and look at it afresh to see where the blockage is. Importantly don't stress about it. You are in control. You are the creator.
